With greater numbers of America’s population aging, and growing advances in medicine creating more pharmaceutical products, our country is facing a critical shortage in one area of health care delivery—qualified pharmacists.

The School of Pharmacy, which offers the Doctor of Pharmacy degree, is comprised of three academic units:

Office of Experiential Education

The office of experiential education is responsible for the management and delivery of all pharmacy practice experiences in the curriculum. The director of experiential education works with health care organizations, community pharmacies and other health care facilities in the metropolitan Baltimore area as well as facilities outside the immediate vicinity of the University to deliver the experiential education program.

Department of Clinical and Administrative Sciences

The department of clinical and administrative sciences is composed of clinical pharmacists and social administrative science faculty. In addition to their classroom teaching and research responsibilities, the clinical faculty maintain patient-centered practices at regional health care organizations in areas such as internal medicine, cardiology, oncology, ambulatory care, and drug information.

The social & administrative science faculty’s teaching and research responsibilities include public health, pharmacy management, and health care policy.

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences

The department of pharmaceutical sciences is composed of faculty who represent a broad range of disciplines to include, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, pharmacology and the biologic sciences. The faculty are responsible for delivering the science-based, didactic and laboratory components of the curriculum and are engaged in a wide range of research activities.
